The UFC on Versus 4 show in Pittsburgh has added a lightweight bout to the undecard with former “Ultimate Fighter” finalist Michael Johnson meeting Edward Faaloloto.

The promotion made the announcement about the new bout on Monday.

Johnson (8-5) makes his first appearance in the UFC since losing in the finale of Season 12 of “The Ultimate Fighter” to Jonathan Brookins.

A strong wrestler, Johnson will look to get back on track when he faces a WEC veteran in June.

The ankle Joe Lauzon tweaked in a mad dash to check on his hospitalized brother is mended, and he's ready to fight again.

And wouldn't you know it, the UFC has a booking. UFC officials today announced Lauzon (19-6 MMA, 7-3 UFC) meets British lightweight Curt Warburton (7-2 MMA, 1-1 UFC) at UFC on Versus 4.

The event takes place June 26 at Consol Energy Center in Pittsburgh.

A headliner has yet to be announced for the Versus-televised event.

In February Lauzon was scheduled for a goodwill tour in Iraq when he sprained his ankle en route to a Massachusetts hospital to check on his younger brother, ex-UFC lightweight Dan Lauzon, who'd been admitted after being assaulted at a local bar. As it turned out, his brother was OK, but his older brother wasn't.
